Lotheni
Nature Reserve | KwaZulu Natal National Parks and Reserves: Noted for its
magnificent scenery and beautiful camp, Lotheni is situated in a remote section of the
Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park. Many delightful walking trails are available to suit all
ages. Lotheni Reserve: For spectacular views of the
Drakensberg, the Emadundwini Trail , a 11.8 km circular route crossing a number of small
streams and traveling up a steep incline is recommended. Other trails such as the Eagle,
Falls, Canyon, Jacobs Ladder and the historically interesting Gelib Tree are also very
rewarding.
Birdwatching (with a bird list of 172 species), mountain biking and trout fishing are
popular activities in this reserve. 16 kms of the Lotheni river is available for fly
fishermen and stocked with brown trout.
Although chilly , swimming in the Lotheni river is safe unless it is in flood , and there
is a very good swimming spot approximately 1km below the camp.
